So Obama didn't play the race card, McCain did.

The NYT jumps the shark. Again.

That Harold Ford ad has become the new Willie Horton ad. Liberals are going to beat Republicans over the head with it for the next 20 years.

The really obnoxious part of this whole argument is that liberals assume such "subliminal racism" works, because thero are soooo many of us evil white rednecks who will recoil at the thought of a black man with a white woman. Talk about being stuck in the 1930s! To people like the New York Times editors, there are folks walking around the streets of Nashville in white sheets and hoods, and lynchings are a regular occurrence everywhere outside of New York City.

So just HOW did a black man get to be the Democratic nominee for President in such a horribly racist country?

Who ya gonna believe? The NY Times or your lying ears?

** suggesting to voters that he’s nothing more than a bubble-headed, publicity-seeking celebrity.**

Well, isn’t he? Obamanation, that is.

[petitfour]

Too funny. The NYT didn’t like the Harold Ford ad that only ran on the news and on the internet? They thought that was racist? hahahahahahahaha. That wasn’t racist. It hit the mark, and it was the best political ad I’ve seen in years. roflol

I haven’t watched the Britney/Paris ad. I don’t want to be disappointed that it doesn’t meet up to my high expectations.

I want to see t-shirts with President Obama’s “Alfred E. Neuman” mug superimposed on a dollar bill.

The ad gave us an uneasy feeling that the McCain campaign was starting up the same sort of racially tinged attack on Mr. Obama that Republican operatives, some of whom work for Mr. McCain now, ran against Harold Ford, a black candidate for Senate in Tennessee in 2006. That assault, too, began with videos juxtaposing Mr. Ford with young, white women.

Oh please.

And I don't recall the NYet Times taking the LA Weekly to task for portraying Condi Rice as a gansta thug with gold teeth.

This is an ugly campaign alright becuase Stalinists in the media are doing their dammedist to denounce anyone who stands opposed to the Obamessiah.

[TheThinker]

It was smart of McCain to jump out front and call Obama on race-baiting. Ozbama’s reputation is already tarnished somewhat in that regard. Don’t go too far, Johnny, or it might backfire.

I long for the day when a few thousand people will gather outside the Times building in protest against its continued existence, with grim reapers, town criers, and signs saying “Go Fold Yourself!” Maybe a dump truck loaded with unsold papers, and a six-foot-tall canary in NYT diapers pouring white-out on their doorstep.

[Heartland Mom]

There was absolutely nothing racist about the ad. People looking to find racism will find it everywhere. I'm surprised BHO, since he is so consumed with finding it everywhere, failed to notice it when he was attending Rev. Wright's "church" for 20 years.

This is actually very encouraging news because the racism card is usually played when they can't think of anything else.

[PghBaldy]

If McCain had used vapid black celebs, the talk would have been... McCain is pointing out that Obama is black. He can’t win, therefore he has to just charge ahead. NOTHING he does will be innocent to the cynical left. ANYTHING can be implied with anything to do with Obama.

[PghBaldy]

If they say he is young and inexperienced, people will say he called Obama “boy.” McCain just has to accept this and keep going. Heck, he can do ads about how anything that belittles Obama is interpreted as racist and how Obama is playing the race card. There are more whites than blacks in this country.
